AUSTRIA,


VIENNA, December 15.-The article which
appeared in the St. Petersburg Military Review
today, the military raavornentS OF Russia.
and her neighbors, has excited great attention
here. The government, it is be-
lieved, before taking active responsive meas
ures of defense, will wait to see whether Russia
continues her threatening military prepara-
tions. The serious character of the situation
has never been underestimate in Austrian
official circles.
Preparations are complete for the dispatch of
achievements of cavalry to Galicia in the
event of fresh movements of Russian troops.
The erection of huts is now proceeding actively
along the line of defense. Timber, which has
been lying in readiness since spring is being
utilized and accommodations for reinforce
ments will soon be provided.

Charles II. Jones, FIorida's Late Senator, in
q Pitiable Plight.

DETROIT, Mich, December l6.-Tle troubles
of the brilliant ex-senator Charles f. Jones,
of Florida, which have been in lethargic
state for a short time are brought agaiu 10
public attention today by the announcement
that he has been requested to leave the house
of his charitably disposed friend, Detective
ONeil, this week, so that he will soon be viz
tualy on the town. Jones was taken to o Neil's
house to keep him from stopping in hotel cor
ridors and he seemed settled there for life
His continued refusal to do anything to aid
himself turned all his friends against him, and
the hosts patience ran out. Jones was told
he must leave by Saturday. Thus deprived of
sleeping quarters, he was also informed at the
restaurant where he has been living that his
credit will be exhausted on Saturday night.
What he will do lie will not indicate, but his
friends say they will now starve him to his
senses unless some foolish frnds help him out.
Both of Senator Joness sons have left the city
sick of trying to arouse him from his indolent
state.

ELECTRIC LIGHT BOILER ExPLoDEs.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, December 16.-The
explosion of an eighty-Eorse boiler, in the Ed
ison electric light company's works, this after
noon, caused the death of five persons and the
injury of three others. About a quarter to
four o'clock the fireman had just put on fresh
fuel, and had closed the last door, when the
boiler, which was one of series of four, ex-
ploded. The boiler was lifted from its foun-
dations and propelled some thirty feet from its
location, passing through the base of newly
erected ninety feet high stack, which instantly
fell. Superintendent Walter Embree was en-
gagged with force of men close to the stack
underneath the new boiler, and the whole
party was buried beneath the falling bricks.
Rescuing parties were Immediately organized
and the bodies of Embree and Elwood Beeke,
"a laborer, were taken out in about an hour.
Edward Schofield a laborer, who was badly
William Allison, laborer, and William H.
Richardson, foreman, were found still alive,
though more or less injured Hettie, the ten
year old daughter of William Jones, who was
returning from school at point distant almost
square from the scene of the explosion, was
almost instantly killed by flying beam.
Large pieces of iron were thrown great dis
tanceS and in descending passed through
the roofs of houses and much damage was
inflicted on the residence Of James G. Phipps,
nearly opposite the electric light works, and
all property in the vicinity, suffered to some
degree. 1t is though that all the bodies have not
yet been recovered, and a large force of men,

light. The streets are enveloped in darkness

The Political Trouble in Indian Territory
The Peace Party.

ST. LOUIS, December 13.-Advoes from Tai
equah, Indian territory say that an ultimatum
in the political crisis has been reached by the
people calling on the United States govern
ment to settle the matter. They issue an
article declaring that Irresponsible body of men
have taken possession OF the capitol and execu-
tive Offices and ask that they at once be dis
armed They demand that the statutes as
they existed before the seizure be fully restored.
The nationals will then DO willing to refer to
arbitration a settlement of difficulties. Dun
ning's party answer, endorsing the desire for
peace, but refused to turn over the government
to Bushyhead, disclaiming that the capitol is
in the hands of an armed mob, but under
the control of regularly elected officers who
were not regularly sworn in because
of the negligence of nationals and as there
was no legally qualified executive it became
necessary to save the country from anarchy,
for the officers elected to take their seats. The
manifesto proclaims that Bushyheads term
expired November It'll. They accordingly de-
cline arbitration until it can be more clearly
shown that the laws of the Cherokee nation
not adequate to determine such a crisis.
Agent Owen made a talk TO a large mass meet
ing of both parties and informed the people
that he had a document signed by leading men
of each party, pledging peace.

Canada and the United States.

A writer in Murray's Magazine
apparently a Canadian, or at least a
resident in the Dominion--does not
share in the prevalent desire for a
commercial union between Canada
and the United States. He says:
Canada cannot-England ought
MOTTO consider the project for a
moment. 1t is Annexation in thin
clothes. 1t is Separation in the live
ny of humbug. If Canada sweeps
away her Custom Houses, and is one
in all her commercial interests with
the United States, she will stand
practically on the same footing as
any other State in the Union, and
the end-absorption-cannot be far
off. But in any ase we are catching
at shadows ; for the bait of high
prices will not lure us very long. 1t
is difficult to see how our young
manufactures and industries are to
escape extinction, from the enormous
capital generatedin the United States
by years of Protection nor why a
country which produces all that we
produce, and, from the difference in
her climates, even greater variety,
should not equalize the cost of every
thing we raise by raising more of it
herself. She has land enough, and
hands enough to do this, and it does
not yet appear why Congress should
be supposed ready to sanction any
arrangement by which, according to
advocates for Commercial Union,
such immense benefits should be
heaped on a foreign country, which
in case of war with England would
surely be the basis of operations, a
country which at all times present
the curious anomaly of a nation prac-
tically living under one flag, and alb
solutely cheering for another.

Making Work for the Supreme
Court.

n. o. Picayune.
The fact that the Supreme court of
the United States has undertaken to
review a criminal case, that of Brooks
alias Maxwell, known as the trunk
murderer, who was convicted by the
st. Louis courts, and also the case of
the Chicago anarchists, which had
been adjudged in the Chicago Grim
inal courts, will doubtless open the
way for an extensive system ofappeal
from state courts in murder cases
where the condemned are persons of
wealth or influence. The supreme
court of the United States is already
greatly overburdened with business,
and any extensive enlargement of its
Jurisdiction will bring about, in all
probability, a reorganization of
the entire judiciary of the
United States. AS it now exists it
cannot get through with the ordinary
work. In:order to undertake any
regular business Of revising the work
of the state courts the national SUI
preme court will have to be greatly
enlarged. Supreme district courts,
whose judgments shall be final in
matters which come up from the
state courts, might have to be estab-
lished in various parts of the union,
while a central court, constantly sit
ting at Washington, might take cog
nizance of causes in which the Unit
ed States alone has original jurisdic-
ton. About 500 justices would be re-
quired to carry on this immense
judicial business.

THE STORY. CHAPTERS | AND II.
CHAPTER In THE STUDIO.

CHAPTER In THE STUDIO.
Two girls were talking together in a
studio.
1t was not a very magnificent studio,
such as one may visit in Fitz Johns
Avenue or in St, Johns wood on Rowing
Sunday, There were no pieces CT tapes
try, no bits of armour, no medieval wea-
pons, no galleries, and stairs of carved
wood; not at all; it was simple room
built out the side of the house not orig-
nally int nded for studio but yet serving
very well for one. The house to which it
belonged was an old-fashioned square red
brick house, still surrounded by bit of
its old garden, which had been extensive,
ond could still show apple and pear trees
and still had some of the old red brick
wall standing at the end of it, moss and
lchen covered, crowned with wallhowers.
The studio served at the same time for
keeping room. But it was a studio first.
There was an easel at which one of the
girls was standing; on a table beside it
were the usual implements of the craft a
quantity of drawings and sketches and
half finished things were pinned against
the wall and lay piled upon the chairs
and even stacked upon the floor A lay
fgure-nothing so horribly human as a
lay figure or so piteous and ghostlv in its
silence and the horror of its helplessness
stood in corner, its head serving as a
peg for bonnet, while its arms carried
stiffly, as under protest, jacket and
silk handkerchief and a veil. On
the residential side, so to speak,
of the furniture, there were few chairs,
shabby, worn carpet, small round
table and hard black sofa. But the
hardness of the sofa was mtigated by
soft and pretty wraps, shawls and woollen
things which made it look oriental aud
splendid, and the shabby carpet was hid.
den by rugs. while the general poverty of
the room, whose paper and paint had not
been renewed for many years, was re
deemed by the pretty things hanging from
the wall or standing on the mantel shelf.
And there was everywhere such a heaven
iy liter as proved that the occupant
could never have belonged to large fam.
lily of girls, all living in the same room
and therefore taught, as girls in Il large
family must be taught, that religion is
always proved by tidiness. The occupant
was clearly girl, apart from the evidence
of the young lady at the easel-gloves
and veil lay on the table, and there was
a feminine atmosphere in the room. She
was also a girl one could perceive, who
read good deal, for the sofa was piled
with books, and there were hanging
shelves also filled with books and maya
zines. Most of the books belonged to the
dear, delightful, much-abused tribe OF
novels. The room, in fact, made a com
Portable keeping room large enough to
walk about in ana to hold plenty of
niugs aud to contain quite an extensive
i ter; it did very well also for studio,
